Classroom Digital Storytelling

Everyone has a story to tell and digital storytelling is an excellent opportunity for students to explore themselves, their community and the larger world around them.

Cherry Street Films partners with schools and community organizations to support youth produced media. We work with educators to help build curriculum that serves their community's shared goals and expectations.

Cherry Street offers unique services like professional development and teacher trainings, gear rentals, data management solutions and in classroom facilitation on a contract basis. Our classroom pedagogy is centered around the fundamental principles of inclusivity and digital equity in the classroom. Digital Storytelling curriculums incorporate digital literacy, global community communications and leadership experience to prepare students for high school, college and beyond.

Curriculum Design

Cherry Street Films helps schools and community organizations teach digital storytelling and media literacy through several different programs ranging from Podcasting to Filmmaking. We design custom curriculum based on your organization's goals, program length, and desired results.

Professional Development

Cherry Street Films trains educators and community leaders in Media Literacy, Digital Storytelling, and Filmmaking so that they can utilize these skills in their own pedagogies and teachings. The goal when training is not to teach step by step variations of our curriculum but instead key techniques and methods to incorporate within one’s own lesson plans whether that’s basic editing skills, DSLR operation, media literacy, social media outreach, or storytelling and design.
